00:00Is December the right month to invest in the stock market?

00:04If you are a homemaker or a student, what kind of investment will be right for you?

00:09And in the coming year, what kind of changes can we expect from the stock market?

00:14Hello and welcome, my name is Shruti Sarkar and you are watching GoodReturns.

00:18And today we have with us Sneha Koddar, VP Research, Motilal Oswal. Welcome Sneha.

00:26A very good morning.

00:36My first question to you is that, you know, a new year is about to come.

00:41And this year we have seen a lot of ups and downs in Nifty and Sensex.

00:45And it's been very volatile in the past few weeks, if I could say.

00:50What is your forecast for the new year?

00:53Hi, so Shruti, basically, this year has been really good, as you said.

00:59In fact, we have seen stellar returns.

01:02But then, where the market has made a new high, at the same time, post touching new highs in September,

01:09we have seen a healthy correction of about 11-12%.

01:13So, this correction is very healthy in the sense because we have seen this correction after a long time.

01:22A couple of factors were responsible for this correction.

01:27Earnings growth moderated down a little, valuations were a little stretched.

01:31And plus, there is a lot of uncertainty with regards to geopolitical situation.

01:35And with not Trump coming in power, so the kind of tariffs that he might impose once he swears in the month of January.

01:44So, there are lots of ifs and buts which can play out for the year 2025.

01:50So, keeping that in mind, we witnessed a healthy correction.

01:54But, post that correction, we have seen some recovery.

01:59Now, that recovery was led by the confidence which the investors got.

02:04Like, you know, when BJP won the state elections of Maharashtra and Haryana,

02:09toh kahi na kahi it gave them a moral boost because Lok Sabha election ke baad,

02:14somehow, the dominance of BJP had reduced a little.

02:19So, with the state election winning, it again reboosted their entire confidence.

02:26And now, everyone is confident that the CAPEX cycle,

02:31jo ki first half of FY25, toh aasa standstill mein chala gaya tha,

02:37that CAPEX cycle is expected to revive from the second half.

02:41So, from the Indian economy point of view,

02:45though the earnings have moderated in the first half,

02:48but then we expect that from second half, the earnings might start reviving.

02:53Now, a few key reasons for this is, like, you know,

02:57one, the valuations, at least in the large caps,

03:00they have aligned to the long-term average.

03:04So, the large caps, at least, like, you know,

03:06they provide that comfort in terms of valuation.

03:09In terms of, like, you know, earnings revival, which I am talking about,

03:14how that will come.

03:15So, like, you know, the monsoon was good.

03:19So, because of which the rural economy is expected to,

03:22like, you know, the demand from the rural side is expected to revive a little.

03:27So, that will provide a push.

03:29And then, given the good monsoon, the kharif season is expected to be good.

03:33So, that is there.

03:35Plus, if the CAPEX revives from here onwards,

03:38so, obviously, the whole lot of industrials and, like,

03:42capital good theme will start playing out.

03:45And if you'll notice one thing, this time,

03:48the festive demand was pretty healthy.

03:51I mean, all the management talked about good demand

03:54that they witnessed during the festival season.

03:57And with wedding season, like, you know,

04:0130% more dates this time compared to last year.

04:05So, the demand will get a push from there as well.

04:08So, we believe that though FI25 overall earnings will end in single digit growth number,

04:16but then second half or the second coin,

04:19like, you know, the other side of the coin will be better than the first half.

04:23So, I mean, like, you know, and then from FI26,

04:27because of the low base of FI25,

04:29the earnings growth will bounce back in double digit.

04:32So, on this note, we believe that, you know,

04:35the things are not completely bad, at least on the domestic front.

04:39Inflation is a little on the higher side,

04:42but then it is expected to, like, you know,

04:45cool down once the good Kharif season will progress.

04:48So, probably the inflation will start coming down.

04:51Now, the only question is the geopolitical situation,

04:54which is not really in our control.

04:57And what really will, like, you know,

05:00Trump do once he comes in power will actually provide the real,

05:04like, you know, direction to the market.

05:07Right, that's quite nice summary.

05:09I think what we'll also add on is monetary policy.

05:13The new governor of RBI has come and we are expecting,

05:16most specialists are expecting that, you know,

05:20a rate cut is going to come in February.

05:23So, I think that will also decide the direction of the market.

05:26Next year. Sneha, moving forward,

05:29this year we have seen many big IPOs, you know,

05:32Swiggy, NTPC Green and Wari Engineering, etc.

05:35Do you have any recommendations for the newly listed companies,

05:41what investors should look at?

05:43See, we like Swiggy, we like NTPC Green,

05:47Wari to some extent we really like the company,

05:50but then the only challenge with Wari is that

05:53because it is in the solar energy space and,

05:56like, you know, the major market for Wari is US market.

06:00So, we really, like, you know, not sure,

06:03Trump, what kind of, like, you know,

06:05tariffs he would impose on the solar modules and all.

06:09So, there we are a little skeptical till we get the clear cut clarity.

06:15Otherwise, Wari is the largest, like, you know, solar player.

06:19So, obviously, like, you know,

06:20and with very good healthy financials.

06:23So, we were quite confident on Wari,

06:26but then with Trump, like, you know,

06:28there's a lot of uncertainty, which is overhang,

06:31which is there on the stock.

06:32We're quite positive on NTPC Green as well,

06:35because looking at the portfolio that they have built so far,

06:40it is actually remarkable and they have got long,

06:44like, you know, goals set for themselves

06:47over the next five years, wherein they plan to take,

06:51I mean, like, you know,

06:52almost triple their capacity over the next five years,

06:55which is if they are actually able to act upon it,

06:59this will tremendously drive the growth potential for the company.

07:03So, NTPC Green, we're quite positive because, I mean,

07:07the government has got a huge focus on the overall green energy space.

07:12So, there are a lot of incentives,

07:15which is being given out.

07:16A lot of supportive policies are being rolled out

07:20in order to push the overall renewable energy.

07:24And NTPC being the largest player, obviously, stands to benefit.

07:30And when we talk about Swiggy, so, like, you know,

07:34Swiggy is operating in a duopoly market.

07:38You know, they have always been an innovator.

07:41Like, you know,

07:42it was Swiggy who came out with the concept of food delivery

07:46or they came out with the concept of quick commerce.

07:49Though they couldn't really, like, you know,

07:51kept pace with it and somewhere Zomato took over them.

07:55But then we believe that that innovation blood is there in them.

07:59They have come out with this 10 minutes delivery concept bolt

08:04in the food delivery space,

08:09which, like, you know, has got a very good response of late.

08:13And they're actually expanding it to various cities.

08:17So, they had launched it in just a few cities

08:19and now they're taking it on a larger scale.

08:21So, like, you know, that innovation blood is there.

08:25Now, what they really need to do is, like, you know,

08:27put all these strategies in place and capture the market.

08:31So, like, you know, if we compare both Zomato and Swiggy,

08:36both their food delivery business is stable and is doing pretty well.

08:40But Zomato has taken an upper hand in case of quick commerce,

08:44wherein Blinkit is doing very well compared to the Instamart,

08:48which belongs to Swiggy.

08:49So, therein, like, you know, Swiggy has to ramp up

08:53by, say, opening more dark stores

08:57and improving the profitability of each store compared to Zomato.

09:02So, if they are able to act upon it,

09:05then, I mean, see, the market potential is really huge.

09:10So, the market can absorb both the players.

09:12It's not about, like, you know, who will survive or who will not survive.

09:16So, it's just they need to work around their economics and become profitable.

09:21Blinkit is expected to become profitable by end of FY25

09:25or probably max by first quarter of FY26.

09:28Instamart will take some time to become profitable.

09:31So, they really need to, like, you know, work around

09:34and come up with strategy which will make them a profitable platform.

09:38And then, like, you know, both the players can actually coexist together.

09:43So, we're quite positive on Swiggy so far

09:46and hopefully, like, you know, the company should be able to work their way out.

09:51Right.

09:52Sneha, our social media, you know, readers, users,

09:58they keep sending us a lot of questions.

10:01You know, for homemakers or for students,

10:04probably those who don't have a lot of money to invest,

10:08but they still want to invest in some sectors or, you know, some plan,

10:13but they are not aware of where to invest,

10:16whether to invest in stocks or SIP or put it in a mutual fund.

10:20What are your recommendations for them?

10:23Shruti, this is a very interesting question.

10:25So, I hope this message is passed on to everyone through you.

10:30When you are an initial investor,

10:33you shouldn't really burn your hands with F&O or, like, you know,

10:37investing in any small cap companies.

10:40I mean, what is the mentality at that time?

10:43Like, if my neighbor gives me a tip, I invest in it

10:48without really knowing about the company because it's easy to enter.

10:52But then exit becomes really difficult and you end up making losses.

10:56So, as a starter, what you should really do is start with SIP in mutual fund

11:03or start with investment in index fund ETFs.

11:06So, through that, you will learn to track your market,

11:10you will understand its volatility and then once you are comfortable with it,

11:14then start investing in thematic funds and all

11:17and then smaller investments can be done in the stocks.

11:21But stocks, maybe I would suggest, go with, like, you know,

11:25investment in the cash market rather than F&O in the initial stage.

11:30Understand the market, understand the volatility,

11:32how different events, be it domestic, be it, like, you know, global,

11:37how they really impact the market and what is the kind of, like, you know,

11:42ups and downs that you see.

11:44So, that understanding is very important before you become, like, you know,

11:48intraday trader or a short-term trader.

11:51So, start as a long-term investor.

11:54Do a little reading, understand about the company and start with safe stocks,

11:59like, you know, large caps, blue chips or, like, you know,

12:02good known names in case of mid caps.

12:06And once you, like, you know, get that confidence,

12:09after that, you can explore as much as you want in the market.

12:13I am not saying that there will be no loss, obviously, like, you know,

12:16that's part and parcel of the investing journey.

12:19And unless and until you don't make losses, obviously, you will not learn.

12:23So, that's the entire process.

12:26And obviously, everyone should witness the bull and the bear face of the market.

12:32But having said that, as an initial investor,

12:36with a little selective approach, one should actually navigate the market.

12:41Right. Very, very well summarized, Sneha.

12:44I think it was a fantastic way of putting things in perspective.

12:49You know, if we don't have knowledge, then we should play it safe,

12:53probably for the first initial years.

12:56It was lovely talking to you, Sneha.

12:58Thank you so much for joining us.

13:00And I wish you, you know, a great year ahead.

13:03Thank you viewers for watching us.

13:05Thank you, Shruti.
